Blair Turning Back the Clock

Share on social media

When Adam Blair joined the NRMA Insurance Broncos late last year, plenty wondered why the Broncos had worked so hard to get him.

But Blair has been a key player in the Broncos’ rapid improvement which sees them sit top of National Rugby League table.

The 29-year-old starred during Brisbane’s run through the State of Origin period, which historically are tough times for the club.

With Blair’s help Brisbane came through the tough two-month period unbeaten for the first time in over a decade.

However it was his performance on Sunday that had heads turning as he played against his old club the Wests Tigers for the first time.

Blair continued his stunning form, and was one of Brisbane’s unsung heroes in the 42-16 victory.

He played like a leader of men and stood up when the more-experienced players were off for a rest.

Blair led the Brisbane pack from the front, finishing with 30 tackles for the match.

One of those 30 was one of the defensive plays of the afternoon; an inspiring try-saving tackle on Tiger Nathan Milone, who looked destined to score before the bone-crunching stop forced the ball free.

He was not satisfied with just a try saving tackle on his highlights reel.

Blair then went and collected himself a try assist after a nice direct pass to fellow prop Jarrod Wallace.

The pass sent Wallace through a hole in the defensive line to plant the ball down underneath the posts.

The inspirational work horse finished Sunday’s game with 111 meters gained from 13 carries.

With his current form Adam Blair must be eyeing a return the New Zealand side for their end of season tour to England.
